I'm a 30-something mom in the 'burbs of Atlanta. I'm currently out of work, so I've got a lot of time to read! Ever since I can remember, my constant companion has been a book. Everywhere I've gone, I've always had one with me. Lately, I've been reading a lot of urban fantasy (supernatural stuffs), but I've also an affinity for historical... more »

    Hello there! This is a bit random but I just thought I'd say hi and that I think it's neat we have so many books in common (I don't find that too often on here!). So I'll follow! I also had fun reading your reviews, and even though you probably know by now, 'The Messenger' by Markus Zusak was set in Australia :) so that's probably why some parts sounded British since we still use a lot of their sayings and such over here XD. Anyways that's enough of me being socially awkward. I just wanted to say hi ^_^

    I enjoyed your review of the White Queen/Phillipa Gregory. Looking thru reviews to see if the book was something I might like. Of all reviews I have a feeling yours was the most accurate for me. Thx

    Jennifer, yes, your friend was right about Swan Song. A great end-of-the-world book. Others along that line I like are The Stand and Cell by Stephen King and The Road by Cormac McCarthy. And The Descent by Jeff Long and World War Z by Max Brooks. You have read most of my favorite John Irvings....but you didn't mention Hotel New Hampshire. I am glad you read Ishiguro's, Never Let Me Go, even though it was tough to handle emotionally. It was disturbing yet brilliant. -John

    Jennifer- I was really taken with you shelf. Not many people have Faber books on their shelf. And you give Crimson Petal and The White and Under The Skin both your highest rating like I do. You seem to agree that Ishiguro's Never let Me Go is a wonderful but extremely disturbing novel. It is also uncommon to see the fine thriller, Mine, by McCammon on someones list. Two other great thrillers are Angels and Demons by Dan Brown and Intensity by Koontz. You rate Cell by King high too. That is one of his very best in a long time. I am always scared (in a good way) by end of the world books. Swan Song by McCammon worked for me like that. And one I read recently is one of my all time favorites- World War Z by Max Brand. I also share your appreciation for John Irving. Widow for One Year and Hotel New Hampshire are 2 of my favorites by him. I also give Memoirs of a Geisha by Golden my highest rating. I would like to suggest The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. if you haven't read it. -John

    Hi there! I'm just dropping by to welcome you to The 100+ Book Challenge. The idea of the group is pretty much self explanatory - try to read 100 or more books in a one year period. If you do have any questions, please feel free to send a message to me or Tenia. In the meantime, good luck reaching your goal!

    hey, Jenn! Thanks for inviting me to Shelfari. Now that my job seems almost full time, my pleasure reading has diminished greatly, however, this inspires me to get something going before Christmas! See you in a couple of weekends at the Lindsays!! Dana
